Abstract:
Sixteen secondary metabolites, including one new sesquiterpene (1, named isocyclonerodiol oxide), seven known sesquiterpenes (2-8), two sorbicillinoid polyketides (15, 16), and six known other compounds (9-14) were isolated from the fermentation broth of Trichoderma sp. T-4-1. The structure of 1 was determined by 1 D, 2 D NMR (HMBC, HSQC, 1H-1H COSY, NOESY), and HRESIMS spectra. In addition, sesquiterpenes and sorbicillinoid polyketides showed significant antiviral activities.
